Ablaut
Root ablaut occurs in some stems in verbs and derived nouns. Ablauting verbs follow one of the patterns below (modulo compensatory lengthening); the present stem is in what is called the "a-grade" in Quihum linguistics, and the preterite stem has the "i-grade". (Also cf. Ancient Wiebian.)
- present stem a - preterite stem e
- present stem ā - preterite stem ē
- present stem o - preterite stem i
- present stem ō - preterite stem ī
- present stem ō - preterite stem ē
- present stem ȳ - preterite stem ē
- present stem ao - preterite stem iū
- present stem ao - preterite stem iō

Adjectives
The predicative form of an adjective is the indefinite singular form.
Verbs
The verbal system is one of the most complex aspects of Mwail/Old Gloob/Lexicon grammar. A verb can take many affixes which are arranged in the following template:
- switch-reference marker
- applicative or derivational prefixes
- object prefix
- (prefix or reduplication for some TAMs)
- STEM
- voice suffix
- TAM + subject
- emphatic suffix -is
Verbs often take an emphatic suffix or clitic -is, which is more often used with affirmative statements than negative statements.
Object markers
- 1sg: n(i)-
- 2sg: r(i)-
- 3sg: b(i)-
- 1pl.ex: mē-
- 1pl.ex: dē-
- 2pl: sē-
- 3pl: nē-
Voice markers
- -ro- = passive marker
TAM + subject markers
Thensarian verbs are conjugated in present, imperfect, preterite, future, perfect, and pluperfect tenses; indicative, subjunctive, optative and imperative moods; and active and passive voices.
- Consonant stems: (-y-)
- Vowel stems: -a-, -e-, -i-, -o-, -u-
The emphatic marker is usually added to declarative verbs when there is no preverbal particle:
- caxynis = I eat
- nīs caxyn = I do not eat

Imperfect
Uses reduplication:
- Stems beginning in a vowel uses the first vowel (shortened) + the first following consonant as the reduplicant - the exact reduplicant often depends on the word, though.
- Stems beginning in ħ- or ȝ- lengthen the first vowel: ȝastranis 'I laugh', ȝāstranis 'I used to laugh'.
